Grapes and hops

Our grapes are almost ready for picking. Kyle’s co-worker Jim is going to take them for wine- making. Maybe we’ll even score a bottle. Mmmm… On the beer front, the hops vine I planted this spring is still going strong, but I think it may not produce any actual hops until next year. That’s good, because it’ll give us more time to figure out how to actually use them in Kyle’s beer making. His kits come with these dried hops pellets that look like rabbit food, so we’re not sure if we can just drop fresh hops into his wort or not.
